Ellos, Ellas, Ustedes
Hello, I am having a heck of time recognizing when to use Ellos, Ellas, and Ustedes. Does anyone have any tips on how to distinguish between them?

These are plural subject pronouns. They translate into English as 'they (all male or mixed company)', 'they (all female)' and 'you'.
The first two pronouns-ellos and ellas-designate a third person; they are used to reference people you're speaking about (a third party), not the persons you're speaking to. The last pronoun-ustedes-designates a second person; it's used to address people you're speaking to (a second party), not the people you're speaking about. When a plural subject pronoun is used, the verb is conjugated in its third-person plural form. Even though ustedes is a plural second person subject pronoun, the verb is still conjugated in third person plural.
